Cecil,
The most important aspect of all this is, if it is accepted
what would be the new emmission standards in Industry?
I can imagine a lot of users of RF driers will be happy
with the minimising of restrictions as well as other
manufacturers and users of such equipment.
Medical costs will also rise since equipment
used will now have to face new challenges.
The FCC got into hot water very quickly with their last
actions with Congress which also raised the ire of many others.
I doubt that they would be willing to follow the path of money
on this one because the cost related to required determinations
thru out Industry will fall on their own department.
They must also realise that numbers DO count with Congress since
looking after the Countries interests is NOT the first priority,
personal re-election is ahead of EVERY thing.
Haven't seen any statistics yet as to why Japan threw out the idea

Try this: http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/pl...erence_Studies

or the timing of the same proposal in the U.K./EEC.
If the ARRL is so desparate for money maybe a short term membership
scheme would be in order, say $2 for a years subsciption to QST
without the last 2/3 s of the publication being offered!
